Introduction

I have been carving for many years. I started with Boy Scout neckerchief slides. About 10 years ago, I moved to Salem, Oregon, where I got involved with the Capitol Carvers. With their encouragement I kept

carving and became involved with the organization. The more I carved, the more I learned. I kept doing new projects and trying new items.

In 1998, I started teaching monthly classes at the Keizer Art Association..! now teach classes in Eugene, Portland, Longview and McMinnville, Oregon. I have instructed at the Glacier Rendezvous and have demonstrated at various meetings.

This football player is one of my potato head patterns. The carving can be painted in your favorite team colors.

Here's a great tailgate party idea:

You can drill a 3/4" hole in the top if you'd like to make a toothpick holder.
